Probably it's the original relay if you have an 86 date code.They have been known to last quite a number of years.

Removed the rub strips. Used a caramel wheel to assist with the stubborn sticky bits. As a result, I had a bit of repair to do. Never the less, the car looks so much better!

Got through a lot of my carpet install and got the center console (both out of my parts car) mostly installed. Hoping to get everything together this weekend so I can drive the car next week so I can get my DD into the shop.

I'm there pretty much every month. Usually parked by the YMCA because I can never get there early enough....

Got rid of those nasty mold parting panty lines and sand-rough as-cast surface on the alternator mount.

Skipped the mirror polish stage as 'utterly inappropriate' at this time, just like we all know that most chrome is Sick & Wrong on these cars. ( casting was a little porous too ...). But polished alloy looks great any where on a Porsche.

About 1 hour task not counting R&R; ~80 grit old flapdisc on an angle grinder to rough out, 320 paper on a DA orbital to tame those scratches, followed by a stack of those amazing 3M radial bristle discs in 220 grade on a die grinder (google images of 3M part 30128 - if you work heads or polish alloys you MUST become familiar with these radial discs !), then finished with a little 400 wet dry paper rub out happy ending to end a low maintenance matt finish.

I only did the exposed / top surfaces; since most of the alt /ac mount does not show, don't bother sanding the hidden areas. We wont tell.

I may mirror polish it when I get around to doing parts of the intake manifold.
I wish I'd polished the suspension cross member when it was out; looks pretty easy.

I was able to pick up the last of the body parts today

I pulled off the S2 10 speaker door panels in favor of the light weight single speaker panels, removed the power locks, and replaced the door pull/arm rest with an RS style nylon strap.

Pops, a crest sticker would look great in place of the hood crest on your shaved car.

[flash968]

Ordered SKF bearings for the torque tube today, should be here tomorrow. They were more expensive than the FAG bearings but I found out that they are made in Korea so no thanks...
